Overview
Puppeteer Mode allows users to directly control their VR avatar's movements through the controllers. By holding the grip, users can manipulate their avatar's feet with precision just like a Puppet Master, enabling detailed and complex movements. When Puppeteer Mode is not active, the system continues to estimate points of your body that are not currently tracked, ensuring a continuous and seamless VR experience, even when not directly controlling the avatar. Use Puppeteer Mode when precise movements are necessary, such as during specific interactions, dances, or maneuvers depending on the situation.Quick Video Overview of the Puppeteer Mode
